Wierd Compiler Error

Two questions:

1. Which compiler are you using?

2. Which compiler is the JPEG library written for?

If you''re using Visual C++, and the library is written for GNU C++, you could run into troubles -- older versions of either compiler weren''t exactly up-to-date with the latest standards. They are now, but Visual C++ still has a lot of stuff designed only for Windows. That could lead to problems, also.

Make sure the library is written for the compiler you are using!

hmm, I just looked at my basetsd.h from msvc++ ver 6, and it
has a line something like:

typedef int INT32, *PINT32;

now your error message:
C:\...\jmorecfg.h (161) : error C2371: ''INT32'' : redefinition; different basic types
C:\...\INCLUDE\basetsd.h (33) : see declaration of ''INT32''


means that somewhere in jmorecfg.h there is another typedef
for a data type being called INT32 that isn''t based on an int.

If you have the complete source to the library (ie: the .h and
all the .c/.cpp files) then you could do a find/replace on all
occurances of ''INT32'', changing them to something like ''INT32B''.

If you don''t have the source (ie: you have a .lib or .dll), then
perhaps you could (temporarily) comment out line #33 of basetsd.h

one of those should work.

INT32 is typedefined in both files, but not to the same.

this will result int the same error you have:

file1.h
typedef long int32;

file2.h
typedef unsigned long int32;


somewhere
include file1.h
include file2.h

CobraA1, i''m using VC++ V6 and the source was written so that it was portable for all platforms including VC++.

i''ve tried commenting the line in jmorecfg.h but that caused more errors!

Claus, I know what you mean there, but I''ve tried your method and that is why it is conflicting with basetsd.h file.

there are two typedef defined in 2 header files and they don''t seem to like each other. commenting one causes more compiler errors instead.

sig u say?

show us the two typedef lines please.
